Abstract: The Wendland radial basis functions [8, 9] are piecewise polynomial compactly supported reproducing kernels in Hilbert spaces which are norm–equivalent to Sobolev space...
Hierarchical topic taxonomies have proliferated on the World Wide Web [5, 18], and exploiting the output space decompositions they induce in automated classification systems is an...
—Existing methods for spatial joins require pre-existing spatial indices or other precomputation, but such approaches are inefficient and limited in generality. Operand data sets...
With more and more natural language text stored in databases, handling respective query predicates becomes very important. Optimizing queries with predicates includes (sub)string ...
Predicting and optimizing the performance of ray shooting is a very important problem in computer graphics due to the severe computational demands of ray tracing and other applicat...
